    Hi Shawn,

    Had a user who recently asked if there was a way to search
    through the message areas looking for a keyword?

    He read a message a few days ago he wanted to reply to, but
    can't remember what area it was in.

    Is there a way to do this or have I found something ezy can't
    do? ;)

    Only in individual message areas, not on a global basis, AFAIK.

    Cheers ...

    That's what I thought, but sometimes I mis read the docs. ;)

    Hi Shawn,

    I was reminded that it can be done but only for new personal mail. But
    once that mail is read, it can obviously no longer be found in the new
    mail scan.
